Situated a short distance from the centre of Cambridge, The Old Station Nursery Granta Park offers the perfect setting for parents commuting to the city as well as the surrounding areas. The nursery offers exceptional care, enriched by unique learning opportunities for your child, such as child-friendly cooking, language and organic growing classes. These classes help to equip children with valuable skills and deeper knowledge of the cooking process, difference cultures, the environment and sustainable living.

In the organic-centred nursery, a lively curriculum inspires curiosity, sparks imagination, and cultivates overall wellness. Children eagerly participate in plant nurturing, produce harvesting, and culinary exploration, acquiring knowledge about plant growth, diverse fruits, and cooking methods. The nursery also proudly offers a cookery enhancement, featuring uniquely crafted cooking and baking utensils designed with children's safety and ease of use in mind.

Purposefully designed, the nursery offers four rooms that have been curated for different ages and stages of development. In each of the large and airy rooms, children can explore a range of resources and equipment chosen specifically for them. Each room also benefits from access to a separate garden space. With laid Astroturf and a range of resources, from a mud kitchen to a climbing frame, children are free to safely explore and enjoy the outdoors.

Granta Park focuses on the learning of Languages via Baby Sing and Sign classes, Spanish language lessons and interactive multilingual books. This is embedded into an overall engaging curriculum. Children have access to a range of high-quality and engaging texts and children’s stories from Polylino.

The Old Station Nursery Granta Park has partnered with the local coffee shop on the business park to offer new parents a complimentary coffee while their child begins their journey.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff is generally very nice and forthcoming with information to get feedback on the day.
The activities offered seem to be varied enough. I wish they would pay more attention to put hat/gloves/scarf when going outside because my daughter has been sick a lot. Also, I would like them to encourage
my kid to sit on the potty more often.
I am not very happy with the fact that I usually cannot leave my child at 8 sharp because the staff is not in the room yet.
I am very grateful for the staff who's aware of my daughter's delay in development and trying to be supportive and help her specifically.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Granta ParkWe are pleased to read that you value the support our team provides to your daughter and the range of activities we offer. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and will take this on board as we continue to review and improve our provision for families.

The staff have gone above and beyond with our little one's transition to nursery. He loves attending and is so happy to arrive, always eats well and plays well. We love that there is such an extensive parental information system so we know all about his day and can talk to him about it afterwards. The
activities are inclusive, thoughtful and enjoyable for the children and extend his learning. His development has really progressed since starting.

We've had a lovely experience at The Old Station Nursery with our boy. He joined at 9 months and settled into the baby room well. His key worker Parys was incredible and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He tried so many new food which was great at expanding his experience of new textures
and tastes. Hes now a fantastic eater. Hes grown in confidence so much while he's been at the nursery and I love how they expose him to so many activities. He now in the toddler room and they have continued to help him grow with his speech through dancing and singing. I really appreciate all the updates we get on the app and information about the weekly themes. Thank you everyone!

As first time parents, we were nervous to leave our daughter. However we were put at ease from the start. My daughter is now excited when she arrives and welcomes the girls with a beaming smile to start the day. Her confidence has grown and her development in a few months is already apparent. I would
recommend this nursery to every new parent.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Granta ParkLeaving your child in the care of others at nursery can feel daunting at first, but it is wonderful to read how the team have supported you and your daughter through the transition and that you can see her development progress.

We are beyond pleased with Granta Park Nursery. Our son has absolutely thrived at this nursery. Every member of staff is so friendly and welcoming. They have got to know and support our shy little boy and guide him to gaining confidence and feeling safe. His development has improved massively since
attending nursery as well as his social skills. We couldn't recommend this nursery enough.

My son has been at The Old Station Nursery for nearly 2 years - the care, support and joy I see at that Nursery everyday is wonderful to see. There is no way I could teach him what they teach him in nursery to help with his development, and he eats better than I do! Since moving house, I could move
him to a nursery closer to home, that thought has never crossed my mind due to the bond he has with the nursery and the wonderful staff that work there. They don't just look out for your children, they look out for you as parents. Cannot praise the team enough.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Head of Customer Experience at The Old Station Nursery Granta ParkWe're thrilled to hear that your son has had such a positive experience with us over the past two years. It means the world to us that not only does he enjoy his time with us, but that you also feel supported as parents. Building strong bonds with children and their families is something we truly value, and we're so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of your son's development.

Wonderful Nursery with Caring Staff.
I can't recommend The Old Station Nursery Granta Park enough! From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly caring, patient, and dedicated to each child's growth and well-being. My child has flourished in their care,
developing confidence, social skills, and a real love for learning.
The activities are creative and engaging, and I love how they encourage curiosity and independence. The communication with parents is also fantastic - I always feel informed and reassured about my child's day. It's clear that the team goes above and beyond to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment.

I have noticed some improvements in provision in the last month or so with more Montessori resources. Staff have been proactive in communicating with us and it has been lovely to see her growing in confidence with nursery. Recently, she has been asking to go to Nursery! The environment is lovely.
Unfortunately,
I find the raise in prices challenging when comparing to alternative provisions.

Our two children are very happy at the nursery. The staff treat them very well and are creative with coming up with new activities, particularly outdoors. The overall management seems to have improved and there is more stability with the staff turnover. Our children try interesting and healthy foods
that they may not go near at home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.768)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.768) out of 10 for The Old Station Nursery Granta Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.803 for The Old Station Nursery Granta Park is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 228 Ratings = 4.803
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.965 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Old Station Nursery Granta Park is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.975
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 number of registered child places is 19.2. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 19.2 = 0.99
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
